🚨FLOOD ALERT FOR TOMORROW – GARDEN ROUTE🚨

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has issued an Orange Level 8 warning for the Garden Route District and an Orange Level 5 warning extending along the coast to East London.

Disruptive rainfall, flooding, and mudslides are expected from tomorrow through Thursday across the Western and Eastern Cape.

If you have to evacuate, please make sure your animals come with you.

A dog left on a chain has no way to break free when the water rises. The same is true for farm animals in pens, and for rabbits, chickens, and other animals kept in cages. An animal who cannot escape will not survive a flood.

Before the rain starts:
• Untie, unchain, and release any animal kept tethered or confined. Take them with you.
• Fit your dogs and cats with a collar and tag, or a microchip. If you are separated, identification is what brings them home.
• Do not leave animals locked in vehicles, outbuildings, or low-lying enclosures.

need help moving your animals, or if you see an animal in distress, please call your local SPCA.

JUSTICE FOR ANIMALS – THE TIME IS NOW!

Today, on 8 May 1996, the Constitutional Assembly adopted the final Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. Now, we celebrate 30 years of our Constitution – built on the foundations of dignity, equality and freedom.

Yet three decades later, animals are still not explicitly included in the Bill of Rights, and the legal and policy frameworks governing them do not adequately protect their interests.

They are subjected to cruel, degrading and inhumane treatment. The law treats them as things, resources and commodities for human exploitation. Billions of animals are killed every year. Millions more suffer.

We must do better. On 9 May 2026, many organisations stood together at Parliament to demand a more inclusive future for ALL beings. A short Memorandum with 11 key asks was handed over to 3 departments.

This is not a fringe issue. It is about justice. It is about the kind of society that we, as South Africans, want to build.

Will we choose to support violence and harm towards vulnerable beings? Or will we speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves?

This handsome Boston Terrier boy came in as a stray — but his spirit and courage reminded us of a true hero. To honor all the animals who served in wars, we named him after the famous Sgt. Stubby, the most decorated animal soldier in history. 🐾

Our Stubby may not have seen battle, but he’s a brave little soul with a big heart. Loyal, affectionate, and full of character, he’s ready to find his forever home and become your very own hero. 💙
